Genetically engineered pink #pineapples fly off shelves. Their flesh is made #pink thanks to an extra helping of #lycopene, a carotenoid & pigment that occurs naturally in pineapples and also gives watermelon & tomatoes their red color: https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/plants/pink-pineapples-are-in-high-demand #GMO #acceptance

Exciting new research out now! We analyzed lycopene β-cyclases from multiple kingdoms of life, predicted their transmembrane structures, and identified new enzymes for carotenoid production:
